The new bodykit has no airbox or shark fin. So thereś less room for sponsor logos. I'm surprised they agreed about it.
It looks fine, slightly better than the current ones. But I'm more concerned about the performance. |

We will have to wait until they start testing. The first test is for the universal kit’s superspeedway oval configuration, on July 25-26 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The road-course configuration will be tested Aug. 1 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, following the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio. Other tests are scheduled for Aug. 28 at Iowa Speedway and Sept. 26 at Sebring International Raceway.

It's not been confirmed but it looks like Montoya and Servia will be testing the 2018 aero-kits. There is also more detail about the actual tests, in the article.

That's on them for not knowing a YEAR ago that was a design element management was keen to implement. Or did they not google Champcar do get an idea?

I wonder if the sidepods get nervous being so high off the ground. Chris |

"The design has allowed for a cockpit windscreen application, when developed."
Note it says when, not if. |

Why it took 7 years still amazes me, considering one of Dallara's original concepts for a new car wasn't too dissimilar.
Anyway, it's finally here and at least visually, is a vast improvement on what went on before, plus the shots of it on track look fantastic. As the car is tested and evaluated, it would be nice to see some visual differentiation between Chevrolet and Honda considered. Otherwise, I'm already looking forward to 2018. |

MP's walk around from Racer of both the cars at the test is pretty good and lots of closeups.

More positive feedback from drivers, with the lower (medium?) down force level, the cars need to be pedaled through corners, so the best drivers will rise to the top. Chris |
